boginspro Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 First left after the Travellers pub going down The Moor, I think, Hereford Street. The first junction on the right would be Ellin Street where the chest x-ray department was in an old chapel. Straight on you would come to East Bank bus garage via Charlotte Road.

neddy Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The butchers on the other side of the road had a very nice tiled wall, and the Hereford Arms had some good coinage under the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I lived five minutes walk away, on St. Mary's Road when that photo was taken in 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 So where would the photographer have been stood to take this photo and which direction is he facing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photographer would be right at the end of Hereford Street at the junction of The Moor, the other frontage of that furniture shop to the left is on The Moor. Hereford Street runs/ran roughly South East, over the rooftops in the distance would be the Norfolk Park area. I use to walk in virtually a straight line from there to East Bank bus garage. I think this would put the photographer roughly where the litter bin is on this photo'.

No apologies needed, your explanation is more detailed than mine was, so I removed the one I posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
